EDITORS COMMENTS
In this late 1700s street scene captured by the talented Kean Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a unique method of tea-water delivery. The focal point of the image is a man with a yoke over his neck, diligently carrying buckets filled with water for eager customers. As he makes his way through the bustling crowd, others gather around a horse-drawn wagon laden with a large barrel, eagerly awaiting their turn to purchase this precious commodity. The atmosphere is alive with activity and anticipation as men and women clad in bonnets and dresses assemble around the wagon. The black and white medium adds an air of nostalgia to the picture, allowing us to appreciate the simplicity of life during this era. This print not only showcases an essential aspect of daily life but also highlights the ingenuity and resourcefulness required in ensuring access to clean water. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of convenience and technology when it comes to our water supply. With its impeccable illustration technique reminiscent of engravings from that time period, this piece transports us back to North America's past while reminding us of our reliance on nature's resources. A true testament to human resilience and adaptability, this print captures both history and artistry within its frame.
